Dr. Bremmer is painfully obtuse. One, war crimes wise, the US isn’t in a place to preach to ANYONE. Second, and more importantly, India’s view of Russia is, in all important ways, the OPPOSITE of China’s. The Russo-Chinese axis , historically, is driven by trade in Energy, while India has only now begun to see Russia as a key supplier of oil. To India, post independence, Russia was the only “western” power that did not treat them like brown-niggas. The sense of trust that gift of dignity engendered cannot be overestimated. Gandhi and Tolstoy were both proponents of peace and self-abnegation. Americans, including the foolish Bremmer forget that the US dispatched their decent fleet to help Pakistan vs. India in 1971. The other canard is that India is socialist, while the US is not. In reality, both are market economies, each allocating funds to suit their development state and role in the world. The constant disparagement and denigration of India by the establishment and intellectuals in the US, where they could be doing so much more to increase understanding, hurts us as potential allies.

While one argue either way, here are the reasons Putin will more likely use the N weapon in the next 2 months, than not:
(1) first, the most important factor is surprise— is not expecting for him to go N now is a great reason for him to
(2) things will only get worse, and there will be less and less to salvage. When half of all occupied land is lost, 80% even, then what does the N weapon salvage?
(3) the enemy will keep reducing his options. After he has lost Crimea, and the Nuclear weapon used, his enemies can take it to him from more places.
(4) after Ukraine has won 80% of land back, the newly made gains will seem worth fighting for, even in the face of a Nuke
(5) frankly, the N weapon helps the US have a reason to reign In Ukrainian ambitions as well. Right now, it is harder to hold them back from taking the battle to Russia. With a Nuclear attach, the US, and even Ukrainian leaders will have reason to freeze the conflict
Russia needs to take Ukraine, and even Europe out of the picture. A nuclear weapon most directly brings the US to the table.
In two months, with the land muddy, and the frost setting in, a nuclear weapon comes after the operating window for the Russian army. In the winter, Putin loses more popularity, and the European public opinion becomes more Anti Russia. India and the third world have suffer higher commodity and fuel prices longer.
Fire a nuke, offer to agree to peace if the advancing Ukrainians settle for current borders, and Russia can sell fuel to Europe and grain to Asia. Suddenly, the whole world wants to get to peace

Listen, I get that there are many many many examples of unfairness to women. Keep also, however, in mind that I, a man, cannot show up to work in alligator boots, lace undershirt showing through a thin white blouse, stretched tight enough to reveal my nipples, and then blame OTHERS for saying I was dressed distractingly. No one should be raped and killed for ANYREASON, not the least how they dress. Women get raped for larger societal pathologies than the desire to control their bodies. But, the day women dress like clergy, like men do, pants that cover every inch of lower halves, loose fitting shirts, made of non see through material, tucked in and buttoned, to cover all the way to neck, a white undershirt to cover the tiniest gap, only the face and palms revealed, and people still stay they are provocatively dressed, then I will accept that the society is demanding too much modesty.

David, I agree with your disagreement with Hina— I have a family in India, and an Indian military background.
However, this— this disputation and open exchange of views— this is what makes for a civilized world.
Our problem is not that we know each other well, but that we haven’t the incentives to accommodate each other.
Fundamentally, though not as represented by Hina, Pakistan has legitimate interests that we, the US, have transgressed. Remember, Bin Ladin was the hero that beat the Soviets, and we trained and equipped him. Remember too that the person who dismembered Khashoggi was extolled as a friend by Trump. More civilians died in Iraq AFTER we “liberated” them, than did under evil Husain. Putin wouldn’t be in power if we had managed our victory well. Instead we pushed our advantage ill-advisedly and over much. Leading first to Putin, and finally to Ukraine.
Peace needs humbleness and self reflection and accommodation of interests. Pakistan needs to do a lot of that. So too do we.

So, before we call out propaganda on anyone who disagrees with us, let’s be clear that showing body bags isn’t an argument. A body bag is a sad sad fact. The story behind that body bag— Palestinians in Palestine, Iraqis in Iraq, Yemenis in Yemen, etc., that isn’t told honestly by either side.
Most third world countries do not make useable guns. MOST guns globally are sent by the CIA (by far the largest amount), the Chinese, and the Europeans. If Hootos are killing Tootsies, Houthis killing other Yemenis, Shias in Iraq killing Sunnis (and vice versa), Lebanon, Syria, Columbia, Venezuela, Kashmir, etc., etc., etc. the gun is from a major country. Most often the US of A.
These guns are made available to create and foster instability. This isn’t Winchester selling from a store in Damascus. No government allows its people to buy guns freely— except the one unwise one.
This is state policy. This is Pax Americana. Regimes that don’t align with American interests, however legitimate, suffer a bloody fall. Regimes that align with us, however bloody, are white washed by our media.
When the CIA, the US “loses” billions $$ worth in guns, or Plutonium overseas, remember it is not a error. It is the design.
The propaganda fooled public is seeing this video and now reading this comment. The Chinese, free of Fox and MSNBC lunacy, are the better informed.

🩸 Civil war at the hands of conservative militia is coming. Let’s do what we can to avert the coming bloodshed. 🩸
Let’s survey the power centers of this country.
The large corporations are firmly Republican supporting and run by conservative people. State governments are run, for the most part, by Republicans. The police, the military, and the judiciary— you guessed it. Conservative, Republican. Church— ditto. Capital— the same. CIA and FBI, despite the Trumpian disinformation, staunchly Conservative. I live by the Mississippi, and I can drive 800 miles in any direction and not hit a democratic county. Not see a democratic sheriff till I hit NM or CO. There is no chamber of commerce from here to California that is not conservative lead. If I hit the border, the guys with guns there are either conservative leaning Border Patrol, or Mexican drug lords. I don’t know what paranoia has filled the conservative whites— but please know, you are not endangered. We come in peace. We pay taxes and follow the laws. We aren’t against Christianity, and we aren’t planning on replacing the whites. The vaccine will not hurt a hundredth of as many people as guns will. More black men will die of police bullets than white men of all of the supposed ills brought on by Mexicans. Facebook will help China and Russia derange more Americans, than anything taught by liberal professors.
Listen to me. There is one party in the US more likely to seek bloodshed of their compatriots, possibly in 2024, than ANY enemy of America. No other people in this world are as likely to justify shooting their compatriots as misinformed conservatives.
There isn’t a conspiracy against Conservatism. However, there might be fratricidal conservatives hatching a conspiracy against America. Do something about that.

Dr. Bremmer, Netanyahu is not Bush, he is a corrupt, self aggrandizing, despotic thug. He is ABSOLUTELY capable for “breaking a few” Israeli and Palestinian eggs, to serve himself the omelettes of political power, success in extra-judicial power grab, forcing America to not sign the deal they were inching toward with Iran, pull in China vs. the US (wait and see), and force a distraction from the Indo-Pacific pivot. A narcissistic zealot, Netanyahu is best seen as a bottomless schitth-ole.
